Our Campground Stay:
Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Whispering Pines RV Park offered shaded sites, a nice riverwalk for the dogs and a swimming pond. With over 100-degree temperatures during our stay, the pond was very popular with campers. Our dogs enjoyed the pond early morning for off-leash play. A riverwalk path offered glimpses of the swift water Yakima River. We appreciated the shaded and spacious sites. Our site had 30 amp and water with no sewer but was fine for a two-night stay to explore the local area.
What to do:
Walk the dogs along the riverwalk accessed in the campground. This trail borders the Yakima River and offers river access for fishing. The river runs fast so we didn’t let the dogs swim but the campground swimming pond was a great option early morning for the dogs.
Visit the Swiftwater Cellars in nearby Suncadia Resort Community. Reservations are a must at this winery restaurant, even for a wine tasting. The wine is very good.
Take a drive to Leavenworth, Washington, a German-themed village with Bavarian architecture, dining and shopping. The dogs enjoyed a walk through the village and the cooling mist at the Leavenworth Sausage Garten.
Chili & Cedar’s Review: 4.9 Paws out of 5 Paws
Thank you for some shade and the swimming pond. It was so hot during our stay; we didn’t want to come out of the air-conditioning. We enjoyed our walks on the river trail each morning and our morning swim in the pond. Lots of green space in this park for dogs. Leavenworth was very dog friendly, and we give the Leavenworth Sausage Garten 5 PAWS for keeping us cool with their misting machine.
